Knowledge and Power: Hegemonic Research Methods and The Neo-Orientalist Discourse
The distinction between normative and objective knowledge and how social scientists imagine that their research is solely built on objectivity is currently being challenged especially in the political science field. If we take culture as an example and more specifically the question of identity and identity politics in the Muslim world, we will find that the current modus operandi in political science research is distancing itself from objective knowledge because of the increased focus in the field on quantification. This presentation will analyze the effect of research methodology on power in academic research and the effects of neo-Orientalism on studying and researching the Muslim World, an effort that was initiated by Dr. Ismail al Faruqi, followed by Dr. Taha Jaber al Alwani and Dr. Mona Abul-Fadl.
